Master of none?
For anyone interested in talking about this absorb what is useful and reject what is useless stuff, I have a question that is 'serious' to me:
It can take many years to learn any one 'style' or idea of a 'system.' So at what point do you become a master of none because of the dabbling? How do absorb what is useful in the least amount of time? Is it my 'traditional' view of the martial arts systems that isn't letting me see the forest for the trees?
It's a very interesting concept that Bruce was talking about. After really trying to get to the heart of the matter, I realized how cultish my past clubs have been. Also, how boxed in I've become in not being able to think for myself either because of club rules or even individual martial style theories. My own thoughts seem to go against everything I've been taught. Personal growth is very hard to do after 11 years of not being allowed to think for myself!!!
